Just awkwardly nattered away to my barista about the weather in Korean… a language that I speak about three words of.
The beats of the whole convo were older than time, straight from a textbook, but I walked away feeling like we’d been written by Aaron Sorkin (despite both being women).

Was talking to two wonderful moms at the coffee shop and an old italian guy came and started flirting and the convo flowed naturally between english, french, and italian. I only speak english and thus was boring

but I've been having unexpected conversations at arts festivals too, so I guess it just depends on timings and how you feel that day!

Been learning Portuguese since october and today I ordered fully in Portuguese and I even understood how much it cost (numbers are hard when they're said really fast). I love learning

If you’re feeling like a pacified balloon person bobbing between bland aesthetics and anodyne conversation and the siren song of someone else’s outrage… I can recommend really truly clearly and articulately disliking something.
Pulling out the exact thread of your distaste. Being at the ready to defend your hatred to yourself in the shower or when, like, Saltburn or something comes up over drinks. Helps the world feel real.
Disambiguation: not to be confused with a hot take or a rant in the style of a podcaster making content for YouTube shorts (‘send this to someone who hates pickle juice on pizza!’)

Easy to live here but some people will think you’re brave for doing so.
Great fish markets, excellent bars and cafes with commercially brave themes and operating hours, a park every few hundred metres, mountains that look like they’re cut from paper, backstreets for discovery, art scene, trees, big enough to support a Spaland but you’ll never be on a bus for more than 35 minutes.
